problem with specifier when using two libraries

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hello

I have an old script in which some tasks were done by embedded ASObjC instructions and a call to Shane’s “Metadata Lib” library.
I decided to replace many instructions by cals to Shane’s FileManagerLib.
One instruction is :

set {theResult, theName} to (aURL's getResourceValue:(specifier) forKey:(current application's NSURLLocalizedNameKey) |error|:(missing value))

When I ask to compile I get a warning saying :
« specifier » est ambigu car importé de script “Metadata Lib” et script “FileManagerLib”.

The instruction is not calling one of the two libraries, it’s a basic ASObjC one.

Of course I tried to replace specifier by reference but this late word is automatically replaced by specifier when I ask to compile.

What may be done to get rid of that ?

It’s a bug in the AppleScript compiler. I should have revised versions of the libraries containing a workaround in the next couple of days.

Thanks.

It’s fine to read good news from time to time.

Revised versions of those (and a couple of other) libraries are now available:
